helpful

good hints but not enough specifics. still worth the listen! beneficial for any expectant father

informative without being a text book

very great book for a long time dudes trying to settle down. I really appreciate the fact that it focuses on what we as the partner can do. the wrap up at the end is a true gem that I will be coming back to during the entire pregnancy.

Good Info, Tough Listen

This book contains a lot of good information but just couldn't really enjoy the narration.

Overall pretty helpful

I’m still in that terrified but starting to feel excited stage this book helped me to feel that I wasn’t alone or that my feelings weren’t that different from anyone else. At 35 and the last dad to be I feel like this book was more for someone mid twenties or at least the first guy in your group to be a dad. Still overall helpful and informative I would recommend this to others...

Now I know…

This book was very well written and cleared up a lot of unknowns. The story’s and real life experiences help put me a littler more at ease with the upcoming change in my life.

Thank you!!!
